If I'm not head over heels impressed with Black Mesa now, I don't know how much drive I have to push through to see a Xen that many still regard as a slog (isn't Interloper literally hours long now?) The battle with the Gonarch does indeed last forever. That was where I tapped out, I think I was a solid hour in and just bored. Up to then was really good though. The updated Surface Tension was incredible start to finish.

The Gonarch fight is bad. The beginning portions of Xen are nice, but Interloper up to the end are horrendous and feel like they were made 5 years before the rest of the content and should’ve been cut.

Xen is fun for like the first 15 minutes and then it keeps going for 5 hours and ends with a terrible boss fight. I loved all that came before it, though.

I love the look and gameplay elements of Xen but it overstays its welcome way too long. The Garg chase sequence is comical with how long it is and loses all of its tension.

Does RDR2 upload to the Steam cloud? I’m thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling because it won’t connect to the Rockstar Social Club, robbing me of the ability to play the game I legally bought from them.

Yeah up until then I liked Xen quite a bit, it's beautiful and nowhere near as annoying as in the original game. I have no idea what the gently caress they were thinking with an hour+ long boss.

I liked Black Mesa a lot overall but I don't know why they decided that Xen needed to be longer. Instead I still hate Xen in the remake but for different reasons than the original. I'm finding the Deck perfect for Hitman 3, played it a lot on desktop already and it's even easier to just jump on and do a mission portably.

The hell is up with not being able to select categories? I click on something like "RPG" in the store, but when I hit down it shifts back to whatever the first option is on the page. My Xbox controller won't connect either despite being plugged in through a dock, but I read I should try some update for that first at least.

Does another have experience with having two decks and using family share? Thinking of getting one for my wife primarily for emulation, but I have a few games in my library that she wants to play as well. I assume it's the same or similar to family share between PCs, but I couldn't get any real confirmation through the Google.

I believe if you put the other Deck into offline mode and play games on it someone else should be able to access your games since Steam doesn't know.

jokes posted:I have the same issue Also, if you scroll too quickly in your wishlist, OR select a game from it, go to its store page, and go back to the wishlist, your scroll directions are reversed. Or sometimes you lose your place and your selection is way above where the screen is, so no matter what direction you're scrolling the screen goes up to meet your new selection, which is the first game on your wishlist. The wishlist is, currently, the worst part of Steam on the deck. You can't even sort stuff properly.

Browsing the store is so bad, it's almost as bad as the eShop on Switch. I usually just buy stuff on my phone, it's way less hassle.

sigher posted:I believe if you put the other Deck into offline mode and play games on it someone else should be able to access your games since Steam doesn't know. That is exactly how it works. I have my Steam library shared to some friends, and when we want to play some of my games at the same time, I just set my Steam Deck to offline mode and play offline, while they remain connected to Steam for the family share. So: Steam Deck where the account holder is logged in: offline. It's still your account so you can play all your games (no online stuff of course). Steam deck logged into an account that is family sharing from the original account: online.

Is there a way to copy a control scheme from one game to another automatically? Dusk controls and feels pretty much perfect out of the box and I want to make that the feel for all my fps games. E: probably not, turns out dusk has actual controller support and that’s why it works so well RandolphCarter fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Feb 14, 2023 |

I *think* you can save your setup as your own custom control setting and you might be able to pull that up and apply it while playing a different game. Edit: yep, solved by Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ua7li4/how_do_i_share_my_custom_control_scheme_across/ Read the comments, but essentially, take your layout, export it as a template, then reboot.

The more I play my deck the more annoyed I get at how noisy it is just holding it. If I squeeze too hard on the right side I get a loud creak, the left trigger makes a springy noise and a clack when I fully pull it down, and now the left joystick feels like there is a rough spot sometimes when I use it. Everything works so I’m not to the point that I think I should rma, just annoyed that my knock off Chinese joycons feel so much better in hand than the deck.

homeless snail posted:Idk I don't really see the point in having one big numpad binding that you use in every game, if they're all going to be doing different things depending on the game. That's not really how any of this poo poo works. Like the ideal way this poo poo gets bound, and the way I think you're going to increasingly see things work, is at no point do any of your buttons get bound to keyboard/gamepad buttons but instead discrete Steam Input actions. See: Oxygen Not Included or Civ6 or any of Valves games. That's more or less the mentality that all the best community layouts are made with also. There's not much room for one true universal layout. Steam Input actions are the future. somebody should have come up with it in the past, but oh well.

Same on all points, but I still love the thing. Bonus sound: if the system rubs on certain blankets or clothes I have it makes this squeaking noise. Not bad on its own but not something I'm used to.

Also whenever you update the control scheme it forgets where all your virtual menus are assigned across your action layers. And they're tied to the game name so if you rename your game in Steam it forgets everything lol. No worries though just rename it again and they're all back!

Is it possible to get Blizzard PC games rolling on the Steam Deck? Diablo 2: Resurrected is $13 today. It would be a chill time if it can launch and work with a controller.

Last I checked the answer to this (and other blizz games) is yes but it’s a pain in the rear end and Blizzard has broken support a couple of times already but then people figure out how to get it running again. No idea where support currently stands but if you do a youtube search for it chances are you’ll find a guide.

It is possible. Here’s the short version, because it does require some fuckery. Download the bnet installer in desktop mode. Add it as a non-steam game and run the installer inside steam. Once it’s installed, don’t do anything with it. Open the properties of the non-steam app you added to install bnet. You need to change the location to point inside the proton folder it created on the install to the battle.net launcher exe. You’ll need a tutorial for this, because the folder it’s in is named a bunch of gibberish bullshit. Once the shortcut is pointing at the right thing you can run bnet and install whatever games and launch them from there. It’s not too bad all things considered.

Oh, Diablo 2 has controller support on PC? Afaik D3 never got controller support so I figured support for D2 was a crapshoot and got them on Switch when they dipped super low last holiday season.
